This morning, we (the SSLT, Prefects, Year 10 Council, and School Council Reps for Year 10) received our badges in assembly. The whole Year Group was so proud of us!
Don't forget - the Prefects have a meeting on Wednesday at 12:55pm in N50.

We held our first Tutor Rep surgeries this morning @royaldocksacad
On the agenda: recycling/litter, rewards and prizes, and raising money for local charities. The Reps led the discussions and noted the ideas of our peers in preparation for the Year Council meetings this week. https://t.co/1kOjJ3WoLN

Today was Election Day @royaldocksacad
The pupils in each Tutor Group, from Year 7 to Year 10, were involved in voting for their Tutor Reps, after the candidates had given their impassioned campaign speeches last week and canvassed for votes. https://t.co/xaW1qhEFeO

Spanish

Qualification: GCSE

Exam Board: AQA

It is essential that pupils have studied Spanish for at least two full years. Native speakers should not choose their home language as an Option; they will be entered for GCSE in Y10 in order to gain an extra GCSE qualification in this language, in addition to their other subjects. Pupils develop their application of grammar and apply new vocabulary and tenses to a variety of situations. They also gain an understanding of life and culture in French-speaking countries. Pupils are encouraged to express their opinions and narrate events, with the emphasis firmly placed on the active skills of speaking and writing, and extensive practice of listening and reading skills.

Assessment: There are four assessment components. They contribute equal amounts to the overall grade.
